Sephardim and Oriental Communities

The Sephardim and Oriental Communities was a centrist political party in Israel that was active from 1948 to 1951. The party represented Sephardim and Mizrahim who were already living in Mandatory Palestine at the time of independence, and the party won four Knesset seats in 1949. The party joined the government as a coalition of David Ben-Gurion's Mapai party, and the party merged into the General Zionists in 1951.
